Figure 24. Updating from the main Administration server
5.4. Updates distribution using the
updating agents
In order to distribute the updates to the client computers in the group you can
use updating agents - computers that act as intermediate centers for distributing
updates and installation packages within administration groups. They receive
updates from the Administration server and place them into the application
installation folder. Only those updates that are required within the group are
downloaded. Later client computers within the group can use the agents to
download updates using SSL connection.
Changes of the location of the folder that contains the updates and installation
packages or imposing restrictions on its size is not allowed.
Creation of the updating agents list and their configuration are performed in the
group's properties window on the Updating agents tab (see Figure 25).
